Holiday in the UK - Part 2

After our first road trip, we returned back to Brighton for the weekend. We had plenty of things planned, and spent Saturday with friends, catching up, relaxing and chatting.

On Sunday morning, we visited St John the Evangelist church in Fareham. 

Our friends at St John's
We really appreciate the support that St John's has been giving us during our time in Brazil, and it was great to visit the church at last. Mike was invited to preach at the morning service, and we enjoyed meeting  the congregation after the service to chat. 

After a relaxing lunch with one of Mike's former work colleagues, we headed back to Brighton for a (windy) stroll on the promenade.

Two missionaries, and more than two beach hits

On Monday morning we headed back up north again, to visit Mike's mum and family in Shropshire. It was a great week with plenty of home cooking and time spent relaxing. 

OMUK is in the countryside!
We also visited the OM UK base at the "Quinta" to feed back on our first two years in Brazil, and to discuss our next two! We are also able to join in with the Thursday morning prayer time, and share a little with the team there.


Friday night saw us returning to Brighton to complete our third week.
